GWC Introducing Game

• Remember your number between 1-9

​

• Go find the other person with the same number.

​

• You have 90 seconds to learn as much as possible about the other person - their interests, activities, fun facts, and likes/dislikes.

​

• We’ll come together after the time is up, where you’ll introduce your partner and give a quick summary of what you learned!

Discussion: Field Trip Brainstorming

• When: Our Field Trip would include both Newton GWC clubs - how to we figure out the best possible date so the most club members can attend?
• Who: We've spotlighted Women Who Code - what have you liked, who would you want to learn about? Want to hear from one woman, or many?
• What: Women Who Code do many different types of jobs, what kinds of careers would you be interested in hearing more about?
• How: Do you want to ask lots of questions (small group or panel discussion)? or want to hear about how they use code in their work (talk with questions at the end)? Other ideas?
